The second last point is the most enraging to me. Either show me a loading overlay or don't move the items a single pixel!

And the worst part is that the correct way works since HTML 1.0. Give the element a width and a height.

And don't even get me started on payment.

You obviously also need an account for everything. This requirement is only communicated at checkout.

i always look for the 'guest' checkout option. some merchants have it, and i'll choose them over somewhere like azn if the price is reasonably close.

Also the thing you're actually looking for will be on the 3rd result page, buried under a dozen vaguely related items that are the site ''recommendation '' even though you typed the exact reference of the thing you were looking for.

Oh, and those filters on the side? Forget it, they'll remove results you might actually care to view

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 2 days ago

I like that I'm financially comfortable enough to pay for shipping and not give Bezos a cent.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago

Amazon offering free shipping is a large part of why the parcel industry became a hellhole of semi-illegal subcontractors even here in Germany where labour laws exist.

UX my ass. These “improvements” only hinder the user.

Was the cookies popup really 3 years ago already?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

They've been around for over half a decade.
